having trouble dealing with TE

happilyretired

How can u tell if everything is going ok with the tissue expanders? I have had 3 fills so far and they are hardd and bumpy. also having trouble finding a bra that works I have a Genie o=one on now. some are so tight around my arms. I have been getting a large size and itsstill tight. normally I were tops in a size 12. its hard not to worry about them sincee they are hard and still under my arm some and at the top after the last fill. thinkingthis next fill will be it. Do you still have restrictions while you are waiting for the exchange?are the bras still supposed to be tight

Mine were hard & lumpy especially when I was having fills. Sometimes they aren't where they are supposed to be either. I had one that was higher than the other. They aren't the most comfortable things & aren't even close to what your implants will be like. I never wore a bra mainly because I couldn't find one that would ever fit, so I can't help with that, but hopefully someone will pop in soon to help you out. Unfortunately everyone is so busy at this time of year, but it doesn't mean we don't care! GG

Mine are not bumpy but very hard. Got them 9/15. They are definitely the most uncomfortable things ever invented. My PS told me not to wear a bra, just a camisole. She said, "they aren't going anywhere." So I bought a bunch of camisoles and wear them everyday. The one good thing about this whole process.

I have been wearing tight stretchy tank tops that offer a little bit of support but don't hurt my breast with TE.  If I wear a tight bra, I get such an uncomfortable feeling all day that I can't stand.
